Well i can think of a few songs that unless you saw the music video you would so not think BDSM but after seeing the music vidos you well might.
Anyone for DEVO and their song Whip It! ? the music video totally to some kinky minds has bdsm written all over it.
also...
Aaron, Lee
"Hands are Tied" Title is the refrain is what is interesting
COVER "Wild Thing" Lee with her hands in manacles, chained to ceiling as a captured primitive, very sexy picture
Accept
COVER "Objection Overruled" Male hands straining against rough ropes that hold them firmly on his back
Adam and the Ants
Lots of songs with lots of hints, both with the Ants and as a solo artist. Has done some work with Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails lately
"Beat me" (Flip side of Stand and Deliver)
There's so much happening behind these tears / Beat me I pray you'll beat me for ten thousand years / Beat me
Adam Ant see "Adam and the Ants"
Aerzte, Die German group that uses John Willie's Sweet Gwendoline as their mascot
"Bitte Bitte (Las mich Dein Sklave sein)" No quote for this, but we have a couple of Germans here insisting that this is "a masochist's hymn". We're working on quotes
"Sweet Gwendoline" (Ab 18) Song dedicated to John Willie's Gwendoline
Man koennte sie jetzt wunderbar / Als Postpaket verschicken Man koennte sie auch ideal / In dieser Stellung - Wow!
Aigner, Dagmar German singer and admitted masochist. See "Lehrer, Tom"
"Masochisten Tango" (Lamourr)
Cheap Trick
COVERS Usually have this guy with an iron mask and straight jacket
Cohen, Leonard
"I'm Your Man" (I'm Your Man)
If you want a partner / Take my hand If you want to strike me down in anger / I'm you man
Cooper, Alice You just have to like a guy who takes his whip on stage - makes us feel, well, unworthy...
"Poison" (Trash)
I want to hurt you / Just to hear you screaming my name
"Trash" (Trash) Verbal humiliation, with Mark Frazier getting in on the fun:
You can walk the streeets with all your uptown flash But when you hit the sheets you just turn to trash You're such trash / I love the way you look
Dalbello
"Black on Black" (She) A slightly faster version of this song can be found on the soundtrack to "9.5 Weeks". Check out "Heart" for part 2
Like pleasure and a little pain Immaculate seduction, absolute corruption Like a blasphemous contact No turning back Like black on black
Depeche Mode British group that repeatedly has S&M imagery in their videos and songs
"Master and Servant"
Domination's the name of the game / In bed or in life They're both just the same / Except in one you're fulfilled At the end of the day
Devo
COVER "Hard Core Devo Volume One" The boys from Devo wrapped up in plastic at the feet of a topless woman
Die Form [The jury is still out if the name of the band "Die Form" (from the English 'to die') or if it is in fact German and means 'the form'. Until proven otherwise, we'll be heading this neat group under the English version, as they seem to be French]
COVER "Confessions" Nun in garters in a cage
COVER "Suspiria de Profundis" Very interesting artsy cover has topless woman with chains, including nipple clamps, on her back with a stone effect. Inside of the lyrics sheet has man holding the foot chain of a seated woman
"Hurt Me" (Suspiria de Profundis) All three lines of the song:
Hurt me / Hurt my body / Hurt my soul
Divinyls
"Pleasure and Pain" (What a Life)
It's a fine line between pleasure and pain You've done it once, you could do it again Whatever you've done, don't try to explain It's a fine line between pleasure and pain
Eurythmics
"Sweet Dreams" (Sweet Dreams) Check out the video, too
Some of them want to use you Some of them want to be used by you Some of them want to abuse you Some of them want to be abused

Funkadelic
COVER "The Electric Spanking of War Babes" Shows a crude drawing of a woman tied up on her stomach to a machine that is supposed to spank her
Genitorturers Young American group on the I.R.S. label who have a really interesting stage show to go with their heavy-type music. Center of the band is a hot blond dominatrix. See it (and her) if you can
"House of Shame" (120 Days of Genitorture)
Stay in a world with no autonomy Branded slave, racked and hanging, Only function is is pissing and hanging
"Pleasure in Restraint" (120 Days of Genitorture)
Ask me / Question me Why must our pleasure / Always be in restraint
Guns 'n Roses
"Pretty Tied Up (Hanging Upside Down)" (Use Your Illusion II) One of the best songs around, though Rose and Co. chickened out on the video
She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down She's pretty tied up an you can ride her She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down And I can tell you she's the right one
Hagen, Nina German singer with a good sense of humor
COVER "Revolution Ballroom" Visual Betty Page quote has Nina tied to chair in black latex clothing with bright white ropes. Very well done

"Black on Black II" Second part of "Black on Black", compare "Dalbello"
The oldest story know to man A willing sacrificial lamb Behind the light a shadow falls The code of silence shakes the walls A whisper to a silent scream The power is so frightening
Invincible Spirit
COVER "Can Sex be Sin?" Crude drawing of a woman with a mask and a whip doing unspeakable things to a man
Jethro Tull

You've captured me / I need you to take control I'm your prisoner
K., Annette
COVER "Fetisch" Cover of this Maxi-CD has a woman in tight leather
Living Color
COVER "Stain" Head of a woman in a steel cage
Manowar
COVER "The Triumph of Steel" Also a poster for the tour. Very good fantasy-type painting of various scantly-clad women on their knees and in chains at the feet of a, well, demon or something to that effect
Massacra
COVER "Sick" Shows a nicely muscled male torso someone has used a knife to play tic-tack-toe on. Better than it sounds here
My Life with the Thrill Kill Cult
"A Continental Touch" (Sexplosion)
Journey to bondage / Fall prey to the whip Goddess of mayhem / The lust mistress trip Punish me gently / Till I lose my obsession Torture me gently / Till I break down and cry
NIN see "Nine Inch Nails"
Nine Inch Nails Probably the coolest group around at the moment. MTV hates their guts, their videos are heavily censored, and if you are looking for a stark raving mad news group, try alt.music.nin. Not for the faint of heart
"Closer" (The Downward Spiral) Lyrics seem indirect until you've seen the video
You can have my isolation / You can have the hate that it brings You can have my absence of faith / You can have my everything
"Head like a Hole" (Pretty Hate Machine)
Bow down before the one you serve You're going to get what you deserve

Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispel As she walks me through the nicest parts of hell I still dream of lips I never should have kissed Well she knows exactly what I can't resist
"Screaming Slave" (Broken) Has a long sequence with a soft voice and
a man obviously being tortured. Lyrics sheet names him als Bob Flanagan (better known for his book "Supermasochist")
"Sin" (Pretty Hate Machine)
You give me the nerve / Carry out the sentence I get what I deserve / I'm just an effigy to be defaced
NOFX
COVER "S/M Airlines" (S/M Airlines) Shows a domina with a whip ridding a Boeing 747
Ohio Players Always have very sexy and well done covers
COVER "Pain" Male slave bends over backwards in the true sense of the word at the feet of a domina with a whip. Both show lots of skin
COVER "Pleasure" Shaven woman with hands chained above her head
Omen
"Torture Me"
Take me down to your special place / Chain me to the wall Make me lick your leather boots / I won't complain at all
Rolling Stones
POSTER "Black and Blue" The original poster showed a woman tied with her hands above her head, legs spread wide, clothing in disarray and obviously roughed up, sitting on a opened sleeve of the "Black and Blue" album. Proto-PC types forced Jagger and Co. to replace it with the boring version you've probably seen. This might be worth a certain amount of money today, and should be reissued.
"Under my Thumb" Such a classic song about dominance we refuse to quote it
Saga
"Humble Stance" Included here for the record - though we don't agree
You could light up any one you please You should spend less time down on your knees
Sepultura
COVER "Chaos A.D." Mummified person hanging upside down
Shel Silverstein
"Masochistic Baby" (Freaking at the Freaker's Ball)
Oh ever since my Masochistic Baby went and left me I got nothin to hit but the wall She loved my when I beat her But I started acting sweeter And that was no way to treat her
Siouxie and the Banshees
"Melt"
You are the melting man / And as you melt You are beheaded / Handcuffed in lace, blood and sperm Swimming in poison / Gasping in the fragrance Sweat carves a screenplay / Of Discipline and Devotion
Sisters of Mercy
"More" (Vision Thing) We had a long discussion about including this, since it strains the criteria for including indirect lyrics to the limit. Since we know a few people who love to use this for scenes (check out the refrain and you'll know why), we're putting it in - this time. It will probably get bumped if the list ever gets too long
Do you get scared to feel so much? To let somebody touch you? So hot, so cold, so far out of control Hard to come by, and harder to hold
Slaughter
COVER "Stick it to ya." Great poster with young woman in transparent clothing strapped to a circus target board
Spinal Tap
"Bitch School" (Break like the Wind) We only have jumbled quotes from this one, but it is confirmed. Lead singer tells his, hmmm, dog that he will send, hmmm, her back to "Bitch School" so, hmmm, she stops running around. Discipline, by the way, is his middle name, and nobody comes back unchanged from Bitch School
Strapps
COVER "Strapps" [Harvest Records 1976] Famous cover shows sexy legs in high heels tied with red rope, and a black latex boot belonging to the person who is doing the evil deeds; background is red latex. This picture is an exact visual quote from the John Willie comic strip "Sweet Gwendoline and the Race for the Gold Cup", panel 22.
Suicidal Tendencies
COVER "After all these years" ST seem to always have somebody tied upside down on their covers
Turner, Tina
"Break every Rule" (Break every Rule) Tina would have a fit if she finds out we included it here, but there is the line
I'll be your slave / I'll even be your fool to be considered
Van Halen:
"Spanked" (For Unlawful Carnal Knowlage) Guy watching late-night TV sees add for sex phone line:
All you bad, bad boys / Call her up on the Spank Line
"House of Pain" We can't understand the text for the life of us, but the word "tied" comes up once or twice
Zappa, Frank
"Bobby Brown" (Sheik Urbody [sp])
Eventually me and a friend Sort of drifted along into S&M I can take about an hour on the tower of power As long as I get a little golden shower
Zaza German group probably named after a maid in John Willie's "Sweet Gwendoline" comics "Zauberstab"
Du bist die shoenste aller Hexen / Alles an dir ist reiner Sex Wenn ich dich kriege / Zeigt dir mein Zauberstab die Liebe
